Speaker 1: Pictures and catchers are arriving to spring training. We are

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: getting started here, and it's time to look at some

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: guys that are undervalued on the hitting side. Now, just

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 1: as a precursor to this show, this doesn't mean they're sleeper.

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: These are guys that you've had on your teams. You

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: already know they are going outside the top one hundred

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: currently as of recording this though, and as guys that

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: we think might be just a little bit undervalued based

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: upon the consensus ADP, which by the way, you can

00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: dot com slash MLB Draft Wizard. All right, let's talk

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: about some underrated hitters right now, Welsh, and the first

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: one is a guy that a lot of us had

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: expectations for last year, and I feel like this happens

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: a lot right We get our expectations up, we get

43
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: very excited about a player, and then injuries or issues

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: or underperformance kind of all of a sudden stymy that excitement. Well,

45
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: Tristan Cossas of the Boston Red Sox, there's still a

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: lot to get excited about. This Boston Red Sox team

47
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: is on the verge of a rebirth year with some

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: of these prospects they've got coming through the organization last

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: year and this year, we expect more and it seems

50
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: like things are finally on the upswing in Boston. When

51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: you watch Casas, he is a big guy, power hitting, slugging,

52
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: old school kind of first base and there's a lot

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: to like here when it comes to Cassas. Currently, he's

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: going around player one POH one in the consensus ADP

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: thirteen homers last year in just sixty three games. Again,

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: that's the problem, just sixty three games. So I think

57
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: we expect some bumps here and there from Tristan Cossas

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. But the power and also the

59
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: top heaviness of the position at first base to me

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: makes him a really intriguing player in twenty twenty five.

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he is, I will say he is sandwiched

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: in kind of an area where there's a couple of

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: really good play. But the problem with that is having

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: a few of those players usually pushes somebody out. And

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: it's kind of been Tristan Kassas, who in many years

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: past has been somebody that everyone want to jumps in on.

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: But you know, as you mentioned, in a short period

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: of time last year, it was still fine, Like he

69
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: missed a bunch of time with injury and then his return,

70
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: it was okay for most people. But when you look

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: on the underlying you still see, you know, some elite

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: pieces that are being put together. Thirteen percent barrel rate

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: last year with a forty five percent hard hit rate.

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: Those two, especially the barrel rate, really elite stuff. With

75
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: a big, fast bat you're talking about, he's just this

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: like big dude. Well, he registered well above and the

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: top like fifteen to twenty percent tile of the league

78
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: in bat speed. And this is for like a six

79
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: foot five, almost two hundred and fifty pounds two first babe. Yeah,

80
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: huge first baseman. It was almost around seventy five seventy

81
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: five miles per hour on the fast track swing, which

82
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: is well above He just barrels of ball generates, you know,

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: such incredible force to it that he's a thirty home

84
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: run threat really at all times. Problem was the the

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: bat of ball like quality kind of dissipated last year

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: thirty one percent strikeout rate, which was an over six

87
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: percent increase from the year before, and is expected batting

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: average from his two forty actual it's expected was under

89
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: two twenty. So like, those are the worries, and that's

90
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: what's suppressing some of the value. But you know, you

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: come back to it and you see a healthy Cansis,

92
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: You see a healthy lineup by the way of Devers

93
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: and Jared Durant has taken that next step, and you

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: see RBI opportunities through the roof. Projections are in a

95
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: really interesting spot too. I'll just pull up all the

96
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: big dogs are out.

97
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: I see the atc ones right now. Twenty seven homer,

98
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: seventy four runs, seventy nine RBI for him. I think

99
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: that's as a pretty strong baseline, especially when you consider

100
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: he'ything third in this lineup projected. That's to me, what's

101
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: so appealing to is that lineup projectability in the third spot,

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of runs, a lot of rbi, all

103
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: those countexats that you're looking for in fantasy.

104
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: Well, what is the batting average on ATC, Because I've

105
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: got the bat up from Derek Cardy, so those are

106
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: too good to bounce.

107
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: Out of the ATC batting averagesement two forty two, which

108
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: is all right. If he could somehow get up to

109
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: two fifty two fifty five or something like that, I

110
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: would dance a jig. I'd be very excited about it.

111
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: Well see, and that's a great point. So on eighty

112
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: on the bat looking at Cossas, it's excuse me. Also

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: two forty two, twenty seven homers, eighty four rbi in

114
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: around one hundred and forty three games. So the suppression

115
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: is some of that batterball quality. It's like the strikeouts

116
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: were there, the XBA wasn't there. But Barrel hard hit great,

117
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: big fast bat speed and hopefully health is the thing

118
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: that's going to push him into like a much much

119
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: better direction. And he's one of those guys. Even from

120
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: last year he hit better against lefties as a lefty,

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: struggled against righty's. I think there's a lot of things

122
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: that are working in his favor. He also did, they

123
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: are small sample sizes, but in a first half registration

124
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: of the end of the year he was better. You know,

125
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: he was hitting two forty two. So if he's a

126
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: two forty hitter, thirty homers are in tow. But if

127
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: he bounces back up, and this is what makes him

128
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: truly underrated, if he's closer to let's say the year before,

129
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: is a two to sixty hitter, legitimately might be a

130
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: thirty plus homer. So back to the first thing I

131
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: said was he is sandwiched in this range where you

132
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: do have the Cody Bellingers of the world. You've got

133
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: Christian Walker, who I really like. But when he pushes

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: outside the top one hundred, I do think he is

135
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: one of those guys that, whether it's first or even corner,

136
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: if you want to build a little bit of a

137
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: stockpile on that big power corner infield, he is a value.

138
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: I think he's a good choice to put on the

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: undervalued conversation because there's a lot of other people that

140
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: we're talking ourselves into and it really isn't cost us

141
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: at first base right now, Well.

142
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: The next guy I want to talk about it. I

143
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: have him higher in my overall ranks than I do

144
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Causus and another player too that we had high expectations for.

145
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: He was a darling of mine. Last year, injuries really

146
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: just kind of derailed him. He did get up there

147
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: for forty three games with the race, but unfortunately fell

148
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: little short. It's Junior Caminaro coming in at one five

149
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: overall in the current consensus ADP and Fantasy pros. This

150
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: guy is only twenty one years old this year, So

151
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: let us pump the brakes and let us just step

152
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: back for a moment and take a breath. Because when

153
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the minor league

154
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: track record of Junior Camonaro three oh seven, three seventy four,

155
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: five forty eight slash with a nine to twenty one

156
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: ops in two hundred and eighty two minor league games

157
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: as a child as a child, basically, okay, he is

158
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: turning twenty one, and I think this is the value.

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: This is the buy back in and another position here

160
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: in the corners where you're looking for more help. You're

161
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: looking for a guy who's got huge upside and I

162
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: think is just a better pure hitter than Cosses. Cosses

163
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: might have a little bit more power this year, ready

164
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: to go. I understand that. I get that, But if

165
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about total package overall of hit tool, it's

166
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Junior Camonaro. And I'm also super excited to see what

167
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: he looks like getting out of that Race ballpark because

168
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: now that they're gonna be playing in that Tampa situation

169
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: and there, I imagine some of that humanity is going

170
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: to make that ball fly a little bit more. Sure,

171
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some weird rain delays and some issues

172
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: and some other stuff they're not used to dealing with.

173
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what that's going to be like in

174
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: Tampa and Florida where it goes well like every couple hours.

175
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: It's going to rain at some point in time. But

176
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be fascinating to see because historically speaking,

177
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: that has not been the greatest ballpark for hitters. The

178
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: batter's eye has been a problem. So hopefully this opportunity,

179
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: now that they are outside of that venue could even

180
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: push Kamana up further than our expectations.

181
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: So I think on the surface, this is like fantastic name.

182
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: I think the only thing that pops up is there

183
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: might be an argument to like, is he really going

184
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: to be undervalued because there is a camp of people

185
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: that have been involved in drafts and whatnot, you know,

186
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: for over the last month or two that would that

187
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: would probably argue the phonetics of it, like, well, are

188
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: you sure you know I'm not undervalued because people are

189
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: seeing him go in some instances inside the top fifty

190
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: and some NFBC drafts. Yet the ADP across the board,

191
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: still in an early state, really hasn't caught up with

192
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: Junior Camonaro. Because I mean, as we're pointing out, the

193
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: consensus ADP on Fantasy Pros taking multiple sites is outside

194
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: the top one hundred, So by that virtue it is

195
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: I do think this is one of the dicey ones. Again,

196
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: we're not calling him a sleep or anything like that.

197
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Or it's undervalued for the player. He is ninety four

198
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: right now on Fantasy Pros by the way, an NFBC

199
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: on the consensus there.

200
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so he's even moved up a little bit more.

201
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: So I just give that caveat to people. But in

202
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: like a total sense, Junior Camenaro is a prime example

203
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: of this. It's just we know that young rookies are

204
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: going to boost up. He also is just coming off

205
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: of playing in the Dominican Winner League where they won

206
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: a championship. He's getting interviewed. He got interviewed yesterday about

207
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: how like what was it? I think it was a

208
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: foul territory. He was interviewing Camonaro and his agent saying like,

209
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: do you think you alone just created this opportunity where

210
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: Poolholst wants to now be a manager because he was

211
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: managing the team in Camonaro this monster homer. He was

212
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: phenomenal there. So he's got a lot of buzz that's

213
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: going on, and it's warrant. He hit two seventy six

214
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: in the miners last year. He's had his stint in

215
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: the majors, which you know, it didn't blow any doors off,

216
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: but he almost hit right around two fifty. He had

217
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: an expected batting average in that general area. And then

218
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: when I talk a lot about that, like just you

219
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: know the underlying metrics eleven percent almost twelve percent barrel,

220
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: forty five percent hard hit rate. Those two things are

221
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: phenomenal while also striking out a pretty low amount. He's

222
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: going to get the ball in the air a little

223
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: bit more Cam and arrow is. If he was like

224
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 2: prospect eligible, he would be your al favorite rookie of

225
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: the year. I think right now, I don't even think

226
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: that's a good question. Projections are a little torn on him.

227
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: I believe I don't have ATC up. I believe ATC

228
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: is very aggressive on some of the offensive projection sides.

229
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: The bat is a little bit suppressed. They've got him

230
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: at two sixty four, twenty two homers, five stolen bases,

231
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: around one hundred and thirty games. I want to say

232
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: there is a projection system or two that's got him

233
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: closer into the thirties. But he has just a really.

234
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Really murr is at twenty nine. I think that's the

235
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: one you're thinking, Okay, what is ATC Adam on Fangrafts.

236
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: ATC has but twenty two. So ATC is actually a

237
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: little bit more on the conservative side for him.

238
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're light of the bat.

239
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: Again, I think sometimes with those younger players, the ATC

240
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: tends to be a little bit.

241
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: More like Yeah, And the last thing I just say

242
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: is like throughout the minors he has been a guy

243
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: that does not have big strikeout problems, makes a lot

244
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: of contact. This is another one of those. Just like

245
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 2: big fast bats. He registered one of the fastest overall

246
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: bat speeds in baseball. It didn't register last year, So

247
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: like you go and take that with that pure raw power,

248
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: thirty home run potential at a corner endfield spot when

249
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: it's going around one hundred, and also sky's the limit

250
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: with a young player, Yeah, he is undervalued. I do

251
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: think looking into the future March type of things, if

252
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: people are watching this after he might not be so

253
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: much anymore. But we're telling you right now he is

254
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: and it's going to jump.

255
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do believe that. But look, this is if

256
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: you're doing best balls early. Things like that take advantage,

257
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: right because still people want to see what it looks like.

258
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: And I think there's a little also question mark about okay,

259
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: how does the ballpark play? You know, we know what

260
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: it looks like in spring, but we don't know what

261
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: it looks like in June, July, August. We don't, so

262
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: it could be fascinating, just like we don't know with

263
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Oakland too. Necessarily we have but major league players into

264
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: that kind of environment what it exactly looks like in Sacramento.

265
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Let's get to another guy who is a perennial twenty

266
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty guy, four straight years of twenty twenty, yet he's

267
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: going outside the top one hundred. And I understand the

268
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: concerns because you know that study that came out about

269
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: the Mariners ballpark. He started diving in and saying, Oh,

270
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: maybe the Mariner's ballpark between the humidity issues, slash, the

271
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: weather concerns there at times the batter's eye there, people

272
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, maybe this Mariner's ballpark is just really

273
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: tough to hit it, and that's why Julio struggling, or

274
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: it really just didn't have a line a lot of protection,

275
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: and they haven't had a lot of great hitting period

276
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, and that could also

277
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: be why some of these numbers are extremely down. It

278
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: does feel a little chicken and egg. But Randy Rose Arena, regardless,

279
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: is still a twenty twenty guy. And I think when

280
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: you you know, you look at this yvon Page, he's

281
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: still above average in exit velocity above average, and hard

282
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: hit rate above average and walk right by a country mile.

283
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I know it was a down year for him. I

284
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: get that the Babbitt was to two seventy five. That's

285
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: the lowest he's ever had. He's never had a Babbitt

286
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: in his career, by the way, under three hundred. So

287
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a bounce back from a Rosa Raina regardless,

288
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: And I think it's a perfect time to buy on

289
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: a guy where you know what the baseline is well.

290
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you could just kind

291
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,359
Speaker 1: of get that batting average back to at least respectability,

292
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: Arose Arena is absolutely gonna crush this return on investment.

293
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he borderlines like I think he has

294
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: the potential to be a massively underlying undervalued player. Is

295
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: he quite in the like screaming undervalued? I'm not one

296
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: hundred percent sure yet. But to your point, he's had

297
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: three straight twenty twenty seasons. He did it last year

298
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 2: with just a really really bad average, and every think

299
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: he's got worse. Essentially, when you go to Seattle, Seattle's

300
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: worst ballpark factor in all of Bay Ball, and when

301
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: you talk about the jump from like you know, four

302
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: to five or one two to one has the same

303
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: difference of thirty to twenty nine right now, which is crazy. See,

304
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: and so you know the number one ballpark to the

305
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: worst Seattle is bar none. The worst kind of across

306
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: the board. So that's not good necessarily long term for

307
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: a rose Raina's offensive upside. But you see still in

308
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: his game that one massive thing kind of carried him

309
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: down and pushed him down and struggled with his expected

310
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: batting average was fastballs. He hit like one seventy two

311
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: against forcing fastballs last year. That's a little bit of anomaly.

312
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: Something I've done a lot of looking on is when

313
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: you see extreme struggles or uh just domination against forcing fastballs,

314
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: that usually doesn't carry over. A guy that hits like

315
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: three point fifty against forceeams all year, that's going to regress,

316
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: but also guys that hit like one seventy one sixty

317
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: that's also going to positive. He regrets the year before

318
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: he had hit two fifty four against forcing fastballs. He

319
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: hit one seventy two this past year. So you're locked in.

320
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: You got a little bit of a better lineup. Maybe

321
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: your home run power isn't going to quite be there.

322
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm hoping he sells out for a little bit more average,

323
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: because he did have a depreciation in his barrel and

324
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: his hard hit, but he walked a little bit more.

325
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: He's gonna be at the top of the lineup, and

326
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: he's a twenty twenty guy. So Randy A rose Arena

327
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm in. I do think he floats in the undervalued

328
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: but it's kind of a little bit yet to be

329
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: seen of what this batted profile we saw last year

330
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: in Seattle's gonna look like we just need some major changes.

331
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: But maybe that's gonna pop with you know, playing with

332
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: guys like Victor Robliss at the top and playing with

333
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez. So for twenty twenty, like lock twenty twenty

334
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: guys that you get outside the top one hundred, he

335
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: is that. So by virtue of getting twenty twenty, Yeah,

336
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: Randy rose Rein is undervalue.

337
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: One hundred percent degree. And look, even if he repeats

338
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: what he did last year and that's what it looks like,

339
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: it's still pretty good for what you're getting outside the

340
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: top one hundred. So I'll take that, and I'm hoping

341
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: and looking to a bounce back. I'm hoping that's the

342
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: anomaly because the things it's not like he is an

343
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: old player by any stretch of the means or something

344
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: like that. Right, he's twenty nine, he's in his prime. Actually,

345
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: these should be his best seasons coming up. Next guy

346
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: on our list coming in at one, twenty six Washington

347
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: National second baseman Luis Garcia, who is starting to become

348
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know this year's Jaron Duran for me, like

349
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: last year, so that player or.

350
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: Talked about player he is, I think he is.

351
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what's not to like here? I mean,

352
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy who is, you know, entering

353
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: his twenty age twenty five season, right, he always had

354
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: good contact goes in the minor league's two eighty five

355
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: batting average there. Now i'd like to see the OBEP

356
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: be a little higher. But he's got good speed, right,

357
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: So twenty two bases last year, eighteen homers. I'm just

358
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: I just can't wrap my mind around a situation where,

359
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, when people were drafting jose A l twov

360
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: to try to hope for let's I mean we had

361
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and two eighty Well, okay, that sounds great,

362
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: but that also sounds like basically the season Garcia gave

363
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: me last year, one hundred picks later, Lily, one hundred

364
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: picks later. And I don't get it. So and you're

365
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: talking about a younger player, you're talking about a young

366
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: team that really is starting, I think, to emerge this year.

367
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: And of course young teams will have peaks and valleys.

368
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: But while right now this player is at one twenty six,

369
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: second base is rough. It's rough out there at the

370
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: second base streets. I think, so, yeah, that's the guy

371
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: that I keep coming back to and keep landing on

372
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: because I would like to see him move up in

373
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: the lineup, potentry a little bit. I know there's some

374
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: questions of where he might hit this year, but what

375
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: you saw last year, to me, I don't think was

376
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: a fluke. When you look at the minor league track record,

377
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: a guy who makes good contact, got batting average, GOP speed,

378
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: He's got all that that you're looking for. And I think,

379
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, once again you're talking about twenty twenty players

380
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: like a rose arena. Well, here's a twenty twenty guy

381
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: in the infield. That's a nice thing to have post

382
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: one hundred.

383
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is another one of those guys. You

384
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: know this This video is also going to serve as

385
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: like a time capsule of players that are going to

386
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: rise in value. We're going to talk about that throughout

387
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: the year of like, who are players that have been

388
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: on the rise and experts are drafting. Everybody loves Luis

389
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: Garcia because of the twenty twenty potential. And the wildest

390
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: thing too, is, you know, I saw him years ago

391
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: in Arizona Fall League, and this was at the height

392
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: of him being this very slap hit ory guy. He

393
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: had a swing that just came across his body, had

394
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: no launch angle whatsoever. Yet I remember I was in

395
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: some sessions of BP and he was crushing stuff in

396
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: the Surprise Stadium over on the pull side, or actually

397
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: was in Peoria. It's very impressive what the power was.

398
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: And then he did make the change. It's one of

399
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: those things we look at those high contacty type of guy,

400
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: the Louis Rises, maybe the Jacob Wilson's and we go man,

401
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 2: if they just had this concerted effort to get the

402
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: ball in the air, that maybe they could do something.

403
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: He did that. He changed his profile. He upped his

404
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: barrelry to eight percent, his launch angle almost doubled from

405
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: last year. His hard hit was over forty percent by

406
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: the way, strikes out sixteen percent of the time. And

407
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: he just decided, I'm now going to be a runner.

408
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: So it's quality contact kind of across the board. He

409
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: doesn't have a pitch type. He struggles against. He's learning

410
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: to get the ball in the air. I have like

411
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: a preconceived this is who Luis Garcia was when I

412
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: watched her in the miners, and again it was that

413
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: guy that you know, I just let the ball travel.

414
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: I'm going to hit across my body opposite field and

415
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: that would suppress power. But he turned so that's kind

416
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: of in my brain. But he's turned it around into

417
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: being No, I'm more of an impact hitter. Eighty six

418
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: percent zone contact rate with that barrel and that hard hit.

419
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: If he progresses a little bit, he legit could be

420
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty five guy. I do not believe he will.

421
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: But when you're floating around twenty twenty and you have

422
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: a good batting average, that is the big key for me.

423
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: Give me these guys this year that are gonna have

424
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: solid batting averages. He hit two eighty two with a

425
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 2: two seventy eight expected batting average, and those numbers you

426
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: don't we touch talk about Randy Rose Rain in twenty twenty. Well,

427
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: guess what, he doesn't come with a good batting average.

428
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: Luis Garcia in some instances like this has an ADP

429
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: that's lower than him. Luis Garcia goes twenty twenty with

430
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: a great batting average, and that is extra valuable this year,

431
00:19:59,280 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: more than ever.

432
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, you look at the savon page, a

433
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: lot of red. You know, we'd like see him walk

434
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: a little bit more, sure, but that's just never been

435
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: the guy he is. He's just more of a swing

436
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: and make contact kind of guy. And again, the guys

437
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: who put the ball in play have a chance to

438
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: be on bass. And when you have a chance to

439
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: be on bass, you have a chance to score runs.

440
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: You see, That's how baseball works, kids, And I feel

441
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: like people forget that. You know, you go back to

442
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: the age of the Tony Gwinns of the world, and

443
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: those guys who just didn't strike out, put the ball

444
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: in play, good things happen. You know, That's how you

445
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: win batting titles. I'm not saying Garcia's a bating title.

446
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like it's a lost art for him,

447
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: and I'm here for it. Also, everybody who knows who's

448
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: watching the show's last couple of years knows that I

449
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: am not a guy that likes to chase catcher. But

450
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: I also think that there's some value here with certain

451
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: catchers at certain moments. And Logan will Hopy to me

452
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: is another guy at one five currently that I don't

453
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: think we've seen the best version of yet. And the

454
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Angels are kind of a weird, funky team where there's

455
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: a lot more than I like now on the Angels

456
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: than I have in a very long time. And I

457
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: know that sounds of bizarre because we've had Trout, we've

458
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: battle Tani, but the Trout situation every year, with the

459
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: price you had to pay and the injuries, was always difficult.

460
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: You look at the rest of this lineup, you know

461
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: they brought in so layer Chanall is an interesting playow

462
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: Netto's an interesting player, Rangifo certainly has some talent to

463
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: health is going to be crucial for this roster, but

464
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: there's value here on it too, and Logan O Hoppy

465
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: if you look at some of those projections right now,

466
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: he is absolutely a twenty home run catcher. I think

467
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: there's a world you know, you look at the three

468
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: eighteen Babbitt last year, Okay, you look at the ISO

469
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: was a little low last year, but I feel like

470
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: the stop start of you know, sometimes with the injuries

471
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: that he's had, it was good. He had one hundred

472
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: and thirty six games last year, had five hundred played appearances.

473
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: I think that's what he needed to get under his belt,

474
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: and now I feel like he's in a position Wels

475
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: where he's finally ready to take another step forward. I

476
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: think that twenty twenty two oz runs could easily become

477
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: twenty eight or twenty nine this year. That's what I

478
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: think is possible for him, especially if a guy like

479
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Trout says healthy in the lineup and there's a lot

480
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: more going on offensively there. What do you think of OHAPI?

481
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: Because I know we kind of it's funny that I

482
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, let's put this catcher on the list

483
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: me of all people, and then of course there's you

484
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: shooting it down. So what's the downside of ohapi here?

485
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: And is it just a matter of when you are

486
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: comfortable taking catchers?

487
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: So oh Happy? The biggest negative is he's a catcher,

488
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: so that would be like the biggest thing for me

489
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: is just he has that catcher position. I'm always looking

490
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: for the latest catcher possible or getting a massive value

491
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: on a specific target. So will Smith falling oh happy?

492
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 2: If he fell really far. Wilson catreros would be one

493
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: this year. But if we look at like the actual

494
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: profile of a guy like Ohapy, first off, he checks

495
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: a lot of the boxes that we're looking for. Under

496
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: five hundred bats, he hit over twenty homers, great barrel rate,

497
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: great hard hit like that's all there. Gets the launch angle,

498
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: sweet spot over forty two percent, gets the ball in

499
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: the frickin air, like you love that stuff. Well, you

500
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 2: don't like is bad strikeout rate. And he had a

501
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: decrease in his own contact percentage. And then they bring

502
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: in Travis Darnelt. That's the other thing why, Like, if

503
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: this is your guide, let's play him every single day

504
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: as much as possible. Don't know what that is going

505
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 2: to be yet. Maybe it's going to be more DH

506
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: than anything else. But I would say inside the top

507
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: one fifty, it's still really not my area for a catcher.

508
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 2: I do think he's got the potential to up on

509
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: that power department, probably not be the top guy. That's

510
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: Kyle Raley or Shee Langaliers. So I guess I pushed

511
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: back overall that finding undervalued catchers doesn't exactly exist, especially

512
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: if it's one fifty. But Ohapi could push back a

513
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: little bit more, and if he has a positive regression

514
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: in the strikeouts, that comes down and he gets back

515
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: to getting in the zone a little bit more. He

516
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: has the potential to be a twenty five plus home

517
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: run hitter for sure. So I don't see him in

518
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: the valued range, but I think it was important to

519
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: talk about it because you love him, You love this

520
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: as a catcher, you love you some logan o'hapi.

521
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: I do like him, I do, I do, and I

522
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: think there's value with the Angels this year. Again, something

523
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: I did not think that I was gonna have my

524
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Bengo car for twenty twenty five. I was looking ahead, actually,

525
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: or should I say, looking backwards at last year's show

526
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: before we look ahead to more guys and some of

527
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,959
Speaker 1: the names on last year's undervalue player list Willia domas Uh.

528
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: We had Bailey ober On there, Ti Oscar ornandez Joe Ryan.

529
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good list there. We had some pretty

530
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: good guys, had a couple.

531
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: Of I get us in there, but I'll take those this.

532
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: Is duds in there. I mean, I don't think Nick

533
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: Pavetta was a dud. I wouldn't say he's a. Xander

534
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: Bogart's was a dud. But I think I think the

535
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: the you know, the thought process I get there. The

536
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: process was good, the productivity was not good. Uh, Candelario,

537
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: I was one of your guys. I feel like Candelario

538
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: was a Welsh guy last year.

539
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: Come on.

540
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: Oh and and also on this list. It's definitely one

541
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: of my guys. Showta Imanaga definitely on that list. So

542
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. I would say nine.

543
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: By the way, you like Jamer Candelario, You dumb idiot.

544
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: You know what else is great? Playing your league's on

Speaker 1: fantracks dot com slash Fantasy Pros. All right, next guy

562
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: on the list. This is a Welsh guy. I'm saying

563
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: it right now. I don't like it. He's not on

564
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: my og list. I woke up this morning and all

565
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Paul Goldschmidt is in my cereal. Get

566
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: out of my cereal, Paul Golgman one fifty five. Look Welsh.

567
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: I think mindset that you're taking. Let's see, if I'm correct,

568
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: is the Yankee Ballpark cures all ills? And maybe it

569
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: does for some guys, But this is a guy in

570
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: declined for three straight years. He is thirty seven years old.

571
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: I know there's still some red on that Savon page

572
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: in terms of hard hit rate and batrel rate, and

573
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: that gets you excited that I get that, and certainly

574
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna be a much better offense than

575
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Saint Louis was last year. But I just keep seeing

576
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: a player in decline who was once great and into

577
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: your late thirties. I just don't know if a complete

578
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: rebound rebirth is in the cards for him. I get it,

579
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: it's cheaper, it's undervalued, so I guess I'll give you

580
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: undervalued on it. But man, I have a tough time

581
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: getting excited to draft him. I feel like Alec Bohm

582
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: is around the same place, and I think I would

583
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: rather just take him or another guy. We're gonna talk

584
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: about this lists coming up pretty soon.

585
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy maybe, but not Bom, Absolutely not Bum.

586
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

587
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: This is like clearly about it's a phenomenal ballpark to go.

588
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: The ballpark factor is waited a bit, obviously by Judge,

589
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: but it's like number three, I think in all of

590
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: baseball and right handed home run factor. Again, Judge kind

591
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: of waits out a little bit, But from an overall perspective,

592
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: you love the offense, you love the ballpark. Goldie, even

593
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: in his age, like he has declined, he's not that

594
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: same player anymore. We didn't see, you know, some big

595
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: uptick and stolen bases. His averages kind of depressed a

596
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: little bit, but like you said, it's still ten percent.

597
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: Barrel hard hit was around fifty percent, which we love

598
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: to see last year. He's still hitting the ball on

599
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: average ninety one point two average exivelocity, so he's still

600
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: putting quality contact in there. He's just again depressing a

601
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: little bit, like he can round two forty two to

602
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: fifty against fastball and breaking pitches. So I'll take that

603
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: in that ballpark with the potential run support, I just

604
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 2: think it works really well. And what you said before,

605
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: it's undervalued. That's all that this is. He's going outside

606
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: of the top one fifty for a first baseman with

607
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 2: that pedigree, with that profile. Because this didn't work out

608
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 2: for Anthony Rizzo one hundred percent agree with that. It's

609
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: not even just work out for anybody. But I think

610
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: this puts him in a really good spot where he

611
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: is super cheap, and this is one of those guys

612
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: that he doesn't even have to be your first base

613
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: and he can be a corner infielder. I think there's

614
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: a legitimate, like ninety RBI opportunity with twenty five ish homers,

615
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,239
Speaker 2: and if he's twenty five to ten and he's like

616
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: even eighty eighty, that would be I just don't think

617
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: we're getting one fifty.

618
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Let me just put that out there.

619
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: But I don't. I like him more than Goldman. Look

620
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: I like Bolm. We can say what you want. He's

621
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: a guy's gonna hit two eighty every year and driving

622
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: ninety plus runs. And he's got at two years in

623
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: a row, ninety seven runs driven in two years in

624
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: a row. Goldschmit's not sniffing that number last couple of years.

625
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: So I mean, I know you gotta have guys get

626
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: on base. I get that in front of you. Hopefully

627
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: the Yankees can fix that for him, but I'm just

628
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: not sold. I am sold, however, on the next guy

629
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: at one sixty four Jerks and Profar who last year

630
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: really kind of changed his profile in a lot of ways.

631
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: And I love the landing spot with the Atlanta Braves.

632
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is why the Braves are the Braves,

633
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: and I hate it as a Mets fan, but like

634
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: I saw that signing and I literally just threw my

635
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: hands up and went, well, that's quick essential Land of Braves.

636
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: You let the market kind of come to you, you

637
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: find a terrific value and in you crush life. And

638
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: Profar last year playing for San Diego, had a great season.

639
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: Scored ninety four runs, hit twenty four homers, eighty five RBI,

640
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: stole ten bases for good measure. At two seventy nine,

641
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: it was all there. It was a career year, the

642
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: best we've seen from him. And it's funny he's been

643
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: around for ever Welsh, but he's only thirty one years old,

644
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: so I don't think he is past the prime. I

645
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: think he's still kind of in it. Do I expect

646
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: a complete repeat? I gotta be honest with you, I do.

647
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: And I think that this is a tremendous value for

648
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: a guy that not only can give you some power

649
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: and average, but also is going to give you some

650
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: run score depending on where they hit him in the lineup.

651
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: And I think there's gonna be some opportunity for him

652
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: to move up in that lineup too, if he stays hot,

653
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: a little, stolen bases, to a little of everything. And

654
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think at this point I'm just

655
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: in on Jurreks and Profar, especially at this value. How

656
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: where are you at with him? Yeah?

657
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree. I mean, you were talking about

658
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: the Bati profile, which I'm always like, I always go to,

659
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: but they were like career highs across the board. Barrel

660
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: hard hit was career highs, close to career high in

661
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: K percentage, and a walk percentage career high. Expected batting

662
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: average he hit. His expected batting average was better than

663
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: his actual batting average, which is really incredible for him.

664
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: Great eighty seven percent zone contact rate. This profile just

665
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: feels so good. And then guess what hitting both rightis

666
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: and lefties well, and you're getting out of one of

667
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: the worst ballpark factors in general, and you're going to Atlanta, where,

668
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: by the way, he hit like two ninety seven at

669
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: home past year in San Diego with fifteen of his homers.

670
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: So now you're going to go into a better environment

671
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, tons of run support, a team that loves

672
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: to run as well. I love love this move for profile.

673
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: I think he is the I'll tell you this when

674
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: you put this list together, and then I made some

675
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: adjustments to some of them. This was the one, Well,

676
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: there's one other guy, this guy, and then a shortstop

677
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about in a little bit. They

678
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: were exactly what I thought about when we were thinking

679
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: about undervalued hitters, and they were the quintessential players. I

680
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: think Profar is that he might, like you said, hit

681
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: a little bit lower in the lineup, but I legitimately

682
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: think we are in the twenty ten baseline area for

683
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: his stats, and maybe the average ticks up a little bit.

684
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: I really really do love this signing, and I love

685
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: this pick.

686
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: Here three eighty OBP last year and if you look

687
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: at the fifth percentage, you know, the walk percentage, Okay,

688
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: all that stuff, it is bright red. I mean we're

689
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: talking to the ninetieth percentile there everywhere. If he maintains

690
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: that level, Welsh, he is not gonna be hitting in

691
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: the bottom of that lineup all year. I'm telling you

692
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: right now, people up towards the top, especially especially to

693
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: start the year, because Akunya is not going to be

694
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: at the top of that lineup, probably in the opening,

695
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: and if Profar is up there and they have success

696
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: with that, they might step back and go, you know,

697
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: let's leave Profar somewhere into the top. We could drop

698
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: a Michael Harris down, we could drop somebody else down.

699
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: Don't be shocked if that happens. The May.

700
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: That point is actually key because of what I was

701
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: gonna say was the Braves are not afraid to make

702
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: those moves. They've moved Albe's up and down the lineup,

703
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: They've moved Harris up and down the lineup. I mean,

704
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: profile has been to be like a number two hitter.

705
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: Don't be shocked if he was a number two hitter.

706
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: And I mean, you know, Michael Harris would be great

707
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: for that spot as well or Alby's, but I just

708
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't be shocked if Profar they wanted to throw him

709
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: into that spot. So I really like this pick.

710
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: Okay, a couple more guys love to talk about one

711
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: seventy five Mason Win of the Saint Louis Cardinals at shortstop.

712
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: This is the guy that Welsh and I both like

713
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Last year. You started to get a

714
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: taste how good he was, just twenty two years old,

715
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: fifteen homers, eleven steals at two sixty eight. They played

716
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty games, So it was a really

717
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: strong full season for him, his first full season in

718
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: the big League's player again, who's got so much ahead

719
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: of him? So this one puzzles me of why he

720
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: is so low here because of the profile. I don't

721
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: know if people are just expecting the Cardinals to be bad,

722
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: which okay, that's fair, But there's also a world where

723
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Aeronatto bounces back and Jordan Walker, who is still much

724
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: younger than people realize, maybe starts to turn things around,

725
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, maybe the Cardinals offense isn't

726
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: quite as bad as people might project it to be.

727
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: What do you think about Mason Win?

728
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the reason that he's still down is

729
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: like in that entire season last year, it was still

730
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: fifteen eleven, you know, so, like as much as like

731
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: some of the profile is fun, he didn't put up

732
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: this big counting stats season. He's been working all off

733
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: season building more body masks. I mean, you know you

734
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 2: always want to hear like were they a drive line?

735
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: You know, that's your where did they go to?

736
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: Jared?

737
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: It's did they go to drive line? That's what you're

738
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: looking for, And he's one of those guys. He's been

739
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: working on that just physical build body mass, which you

740
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: know would generate more power, and that's what we're absolutely

741
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: want to see out of him. The profile is still

742
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: a little bit like really low barrel rate that's usually

743
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: two more contact based hitters, not a great hard hit rate.

744
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: He actually went down year over year. But the reason

745
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: to get excited is he gets the ball in the air.

746
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: And we have seen a ton of hitters be able

747
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: to just maximize c. J. Abrams, Hassan Kim. They've been

748
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: players that you know they don't have like great barrel

749
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: and hard hit, but if you get the ball, you know,

750
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: you square up the ball and you get it in

751
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: the air. Mookie Betts has done that for a decent

752
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 2: amount of time. Then all of a sudden, you can

753
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: just start, you know, getting fifteen twenty homers. Win can

754
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: also steal and that that's the thing I think could

755
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: take a big jump up as well. As this team

756
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: is completely retransforming who they are, I will say as well,

757
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: he is actual like hitting profile eighty to eighty six

758
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: rise in his own contact percentage, So now getting into

759
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: elite zone contact, he's generating more that body mass, which

760
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: I am hopeful is going to put some more power up.

761
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: I think most people see him as like a fifteen

762
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 2: to fifteen guy. I think there's twenty twenty upside, especially

763
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: if he gets a hit higher on the lineup is

764
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: there just getting rid of all their pieces. Mason Win

765
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: and Jerkson Profar with the two guys that jumped out

766
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: to me as like prime candidates. One seventy five consensus

767
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: ADP right now is crazy. He is like my number

768
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: one middle infield target across the board. Pair him with

769
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 2: a Corey Seeger or a volatile like if you call

770
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: Ellie volatile, apparently whoever you want, you're getting a little

771
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: bit of everything. And I think there is upside for

772
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: Mason Win. And I do think he could be one

773
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 2: of those guys that his profile as a hitter jumps

774
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 2: up this year.

775
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Next guy might be a little bit of a leaf

776
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: of leap faith. At one eighty four, Estak paradis now

777
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: with Houston and I'm here for it. He is one

778
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: year removed from a thirty one home run season where

779
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: he had two fifty Last year just to thirty eight.

780
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: The home runs dropped to nineteen, the lowest total in

781
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: the two previous years, for sure. And I know, you know,

782
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: you dig deeper, and some of the deeper numbers aren't good.

783
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to the same thing, which is

784
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: certain organizations. I always perk up right when Atlanta goes

785
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: after somebody. When the Tampa Bay Rays sign a pitcher

786
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of, you know, cast aside from somewhere else.

787
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: They see something. And Houston's one of these teams too,

788
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: so they have a really good eye for what they

789
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: look for, and I think their scouting departments very good

790
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: identifying players are going to play well in this environment,

791
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: and Parades does. Now. We're still waiting to hear on

792
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: Bregman as of recording this and seeing how all that

793
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: shakes out. But in the meantime, right now, Paradis looks

794
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: like a guy that if you take those numbers and

795
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: you copy and paste them to Houston last year, that

796
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: home run total is not nearly as over underwhelming. So

797
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: I look at this guy is a value at the

798
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: corner spot. Again, not a guy I want to start

799
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: as a third baseman, but as a corner guy. I'm

800
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: very intrigued by him in this situation with Houston. What

801
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: do you think of Paritis in twenty twenty five?

802
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 2: Well, check this out. Baseball Savant has a category you

803
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: can check where you can see if this player played

804
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: all their home games in a home ballpark, what their

805
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: home what would the actual homer in total be that's

806
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: misleading a little bit, but it tells you about the ballpark.

807
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: He hit nineteen homers last year. If he were in Houston,

808
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: Houston represented the number one most homers he would have

809
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: hit in a single place, twenty six for Houston. No

810
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: other ballpark would have been more beneficial for East sac Praidies.

811
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: So I think the reason you throw him in here.

812
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that are not great about profile.

813
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: But remember what I just said about Mason winn It's like, oh,

814
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: it doesn't hit the ball hard. He doesn't really barrel

815
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: up the ball. Sometimes it's more of a contact approach.

816
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: How can you maximize it? Pull fly balls, that's Pradies does.

817
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: He has one of the highest launch angles twenty two

818
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: degree launch angle. And the way we get to extrapolate

819
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: this is just look at what he did in Ten Bay,

820
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 2: where he was able to pull those fly balls and

821
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: had a little bit of gimme. In twenty twenty three,

822
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: he hit two fifty with thirty one homers with a

823
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: not great profile. He went to the Cubs. He's stunk.

824
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: Now he's going to the best place that's built for him.

825
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: We have a baseline for what that would do, and

826
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 2: that baseline is thirty homers in the two fifty range.

827
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: You hope that continues. He's got tons of support around him. Listen,

828
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: this is about undervalued guys. If we get ninety percent

829
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: of what he was in Tampa Bay, mind you, this

830
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: is a better ballpark for him, with incredibly better offensive

831
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: pieces around him exactly, then there's no doubt that him

832
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: going around one point eighty four right now and is

833
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 2: overall ADP. He is not the most most undervalued, but

834
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 2: he is close to it if that ballpark really does push.

835
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: Before we get to the last on our list, all

849
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: Last guy in the list is a guy I actually

850
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: drafted yesterday, Jeremy Pania of the Houston Astros. It's funny

851
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: because the NFBC number for him is like one to

852
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: sixty five. I looked at it before one ninety and

853
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: some other spots. They're depending on what you believe and

854
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: our expert consensus rankings. Right now him at two seventy eight,

855
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: which is absurd.

856
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: It's because there's one site that doesn't have him registered

857
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: or we're not picking up. So yeah, I put this

858
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: note in here. The ADP is two seventy eight. It's

859
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 2: incorrect if you just take let's.

860
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: Go on two hundred. Let's let's with the difference. Let's

861
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: call it two you know, you know what, Let's call

862
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: it one ninety. I'll even go there. Let's call it

863
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: one ninety. Still absurd, still ridiculous, Still a value coming

864
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: off a season last year where uh, this is the

865
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: player that honestly you were in before anybody else a

866
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: couple years ago so I want to give you credit

867
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: for that, and I hate giving you credit, but I

868
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: have to because you were like the og Jeremy pinya

869
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: guy twenty two one runs in twenty twenty two. Then

870
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: the home runs ticked down a little bit to ten,

871
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: came back up to fifteen last year. He also had

872
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: a twenty steals, establish a good basemine of two sixty six.

873
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: He's just solid. He's going to probably score eighty runs again.

874
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at him and saying, well that late.

875
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: If I'm looking for a middle infield guy, he fits

876
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: the bill of exactly the kind of player I want,

877
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: strong benchmark, room for more, and I know he's not

878
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: going to hurt me necessarily either. Well.

879
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: Listen, Also, they lost Kyle Tucker and I theoretical Alex Bregman,

880
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: so that changed. I mean, obviously they brought in you know,

881
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 2: Parades and Christian Walker and whatever, but like it opens

882
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: up potential in the lineup. If you remember, they were

883
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: toying around a lot with Jeremy Pania hitting in the

884
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: leadoff spot. They wanted to see him as a leadoff

885
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: hitter because you were starting to see and last year,

886
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: by the way, I wanted to look here at he Yeah,

887
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: he really. They took him out of that. His primary

888
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: spots were at five and six, but he was hitting

889
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: out of the one and two spot that could come

890
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: back up. And the reason behind that and why they

891
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: had put them there before is he does make a

892
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: lot of contact. This is another one of those guys

893
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: eighty seven percent zone contact, so if the balls on

894
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: the zone, he's making quality contact. While his strikeouts have

895
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 2: gone down seventeen percent strikeout rate last year, while some

896
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: of the hitting profile was starting to increase just a

897
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 2: tiny bit. But really I think the key is like

898
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: he is becoming a better hitter. He is still stealing bases,

899
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: which is something I wasn't sure if he was going

900
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 2: to do. He has increased his stolen bases for three

901
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: straight years fifteen twenty two sixty six batting average this

902
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: past season. Now he could be put in a few

903
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: more prime spots he expected batting averages two sixty. What

904
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm getting at is if you can get fifteen twenty

905
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: five or twenty twenty and he has a high batting average,

906
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: that could be worth exponentially more than a one ninety

907
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: eightyp A two hundred adyp A one to sixty EIGHTYP

908
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: a position that can fall off a little bit outside

909
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: the top fifteen. Jeremy Paine is one of my prime

910
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: targets for middle infield, or if I really really screwed up,

911
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: I think the baseline of what he does makes a

912
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 2: ton of sense, and he is. He is very undervalued

913
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: because of no huge, big breakout. But I really do

914
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 2: like Jeremy Payne, and you know Luis Garcia talk about

915
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: Louis Garcia and everyone's excited. Luis gars the marker between

916
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 2: Louis Garcia and Jeremy Peneas statistically it's not that far off.

917
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: It's not eighty eighty p is adp is. And he's

918
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: a little older too, so maybe you will see a jump.

919
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: He's twenty seven years old right turning twenty eight, Like

920
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,160
